Jethro Tull ~ "Nothing is Easy" with lyrics

Details

Description

The song "Nothing is Easy" is from "Stand Up" which is the second studio album by the British rock band Jethro Tull, released in 1969. Before recordings for the album began, the band's original guitarist Mick Abrahams resigned because of musical differences with Ian Anderson; Abrahams wanted to stay with the blues rock sound of their 1968 debut, This Was, while Anderson wished to add other musical influences such as folk rock. He was replaced by guitarist Martin Barre, who appeared on every subsequent Jethro Tull album.

Stand Up represents the first album project on which Anderson was in full control of the music and lyrics. The result was an eclectic album with various styles and instrumentation appearing in its songs.
The album quickly went to No. 1 on the UK charts, while the non-album single "Living in the Past" peaked at No. 3.
